How on earth do you preserve your sanity? Don't you long to paint something different? Not that what you do isn't amazing, naturally. I was looking at various tau bits I have lying around, and I found myself thinking, "Wow. I bet Mike would have a field day with Tau."
Also, lmk when stuff materialises.

@Graven - I try to not paint all day every day so my sanity is checked by watching tv or browsing forums, I do long to paint something other than grey however I feel that if I start, I may not come back to it and seeing as I'm almost half way through the army I really want to finish it first. And by jove you seem to know excatly when I get things, I had your gift package arrive this morning! thanks heaps I will use the legs with out a doubt!

Hey Knightley. I'm new to this blog, and decided to stop by. I'll be checking it out more frequently. Love all of your models, very crisp, neat, and clean.
@WM - Yes, and to be fair I had done those guys in 2004ish and these GK's were started in 2009ish and were supposed to be a much much lighter shade of grey, however I know what you mean, needs more color!
@Graven - Yeah, If I do a Tau army it will be a lot more vibrant. In fact the next army in general I do will be more filled with color (I'm thinking red's or yellows)
@Wolf Guard 252 - Welcome to the blog! and thank you for taking the time to comment. Do you have a favorite one in particular?
